Solution

The statement you provided is not actually the converse. The converse of an implication PQ P \rightarrow Q ("If P, then Q") is QP Q \rightarrow P ("If Q, then P").

  1. Original Statement: "If you are wearing a hat, you are a baseball fan."

    • Here, P P is "You are wearing a hat" and Q Q is "You are a baseball fan."
  2. Converse Statement: The correct converse would be: "If you are a baseball fan, you are wearing a hat."

    • This is QP Q \rightarrow P .
  3. Conclusion: Your statement accurately reflects the method of forming a converse, but note that it should be clear that the original piece and the converse carry different meanings, as being a baseball fan does not necessarily imply that one is wearing a hat. Hence, the structure is valid but may not hold true in reality.
